"Monarch Butterfly"

This is a monarch butterfly i created with, you guessed it! chacoal and pencil. when i first started this drawing i thought it looked like a shoe. but now that i have finished it i am very happy with the outcome.

"Iris Flower"

This is an iris flower i created with, of course, charcoal and pencil. it was based of of an image i found on google. it was made in the middle of an RSL match whan this image came to my mind. when my sister saw it she asked me if she could have it and of course i said yes. i like this picture because it uses a lot of shading which is my favorite thing to do.

"The Mouth"

This is a mouth i drew. it is also made of charcoal and pencil. i know that those seem to be used in most of my creations and they are! i enjoy using shading and light technics. Shading is definetly something that i focus a lot of my artwork on.

"Saint Bernard"

This is a Saint Bernard i drew with charcoal and pencil. It uses shading and texture to make it look realistic. This is one of my favorite Animal drawings i have done because of the shading. I was very impressed with myself when this drawing was created.

"The Eye"

This is an eye I created with charcoal and pencil. I really surprised myself when I made this piece because I had just started with my interest in art. I think that this drawing sparked my artistic passion. I have drawn many, many eyes since, but not many of them look as realistic as this. I have literally drawn hundreds of eyes. Which means that all of my journals, sketchbooks, and notebooks are covered in eyes. Some of my friends think that it's scary because they feel like the eyes watching them. I love to draw eyes!

"Red Rocks"

This is a picture I made titled "Red Rocks". It is made of dotted oil pastels.

It has been selected by the editors of "Celebrating Art" to be

 published in their fall 2012 edition of "Celebrating Art". I am still waiting to see

 if it will be excepted to the top ten of my age division.
